Wow, that last surprise box sounds pretty awful: "Square Enix’s last Surprise Box arrived in December and included Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Thief, Final Fantasy 13, Life is Strange Episode 1, and Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn."

Temple of Osiris is essentially an indie game from a major dev. Final Fantasy XIII i don't even think i need to explain. Life is Strange Episode 1 is already free on Steam, and is only the first part of a 5 part episodic game. (You have to pay $20 to get the other 4 parts) Final Fantasy XIV is a P2P game and an MMO. Even if the buyer is interested in MMO's, they are forced to pay a monthly fee to play it.

Thief is the only decent game in the list. The rest is literally a scam.

Well, considering most individuals wouldn't want more than one or two of those, and that many of them would be or have been available as part of a Humble Bundle, or will be on sale cheap on Steam. It's not really a great deal to pay $10 for a surprise box when pretty much anyone could get the few games they wanted from the bundle for the exact same price (or cheaper) fairly easily.
